observation: people think fMRI is a meaningful measure of "thought"
observation: people believe ChatGPT is "thinking"
conclusion: we must put the ChatGPT servers inside an fMRI machine. this will work perfectly and have no adverse consequences. trust.

yo…. when jet breaks in the tea shop and accuses zuko and iroh of beinh firebenders….
do you think any of the patrons looked at zukos scarred face - obviously done by a firebender - and immediately think jet was an asshole? like
jet: hes a firebender!!!!
patrons, thinking about the backstory they concocted for zuko and iroh where their home was invaded by firebenders and they barely survived with their lifes so they could come and have a peaceful life selling tea in a city the war doesnt touch:

i am always urging people to think about what "safe for work" really means and why we've come to equate "won't be found objectionable by your employer, who has the power to ruin your life" with "good and harmless and 'wholesome'"

i was opening up the nature center and a little wasp flew by while i unlocked the door so i let him out. then i looked down, and there was a spider, a millipede, and two rollie-pollie bugs waiting at the door and they all walked out in a line like they’d been at a party together overnight.
it’s been two weeks and i can’t stop thinking about it.

....So, um, does this not freak anyone else out??? Is it just me??? Because like, this sounds like actual hell for all the kids involved. Their entire childhood and teenage years has now been dedicated to filming a (unneeded) reboot of Harry Potter to the point they can't even go to school at any point with this type of school being set up for them and them only, and even then the school stuff is second to filming, being at hours that let's be real, any other kid would be fucking resting and such in, not having to race to do school work because they spent their normal school hours filming. This is literally actually giving vibes of WB trying to find any loopholes they can to have the kid actors film non-stop to the point it won't be surprising if stuff comes out about behind the scenes some time after the reboot is done with. Btw before anyone says this is normal on sets with kids, last I heard a-lot of film sets aren't setting up schools for the next decade basically of the kid actors life, they have tutors coming onto set at best to handle the school work with the kid actors and when they done with filming finally, the kids go back to school like normal. This is basically set up to mess up the kid actors chances at education and developing like kids should while in education let alone their chances at socialising outside of fellow child actors and the adult actors around them...all so that a terf can make more money for her bigotry and replace the cast that turned against her.

Had my suspicions but I have finally confirmed it this morning: The rival Pokémon Go team I have been beefing with, whose gym's total annihilation I have incorporated into my morning routine, is actually a group of local elementary school students

There is genuinely no such thing as an inappropriate book for a child.
#i depended on the library a lot as a kid and was always reading above grade level#my parents were conservative but didnt make it their business to know everything I was reading#my dad got me in to some stephen king stuff and he told me about it containing sex and violence and racism#and that he was sure i could handle it but to put it away or skip over stuff if it was too much#its insane to me that people want to control kids that bad
